There’s something magical about summer entertaining outdoors. I love dining al fresco and get even more excited when we get to host and share it with others. A few tips: — Dress the table. Set the mood with your favorite summer palette and simple flowers. I’m all in on green this year with touches of blue. — Add lighting. Candles and lanterns for ambiance and this will keep the table lit while the sun goes down. — Keep the menu simple. There’s something very relaxing about eating outdoors. The menu should reflect that and feel inviting. — Bar cart or beverage tub to keep serving drinks easy, a specialty cocktail is always a fun touch. How are you making the most of your outdoor space this season? LTKSeasonal LTKStyleTip LTKHome
